home :: studio/office inspiration

Originally I was thinking of painting my craft room purple and using a ton of mint decor items. This was sort of my inspiration photo.

But then I started thinking of how adorable and calming it would be to paint the walls mint and have lots of mint stuff in the room. Mint overload, I don't think so. Here are some cute minty things I found.

The combo mint and purple is cute! Maybe you can do it the other way around then? I mean, paint your room in minty colors and add purple decor pieces, such as cute purple pillows? :-)I love these pics by the way!

Mmmmmmm, having worked in a paint store for years (and still as an artist) I understand that finding the 'right' colour of mint (or turquoise) is like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall! Sample pots can be a life-saver ...you see a larger version of the colour. Sounds refreshingly lovely to have an all mint room vs. the Joker's lair... altho maybe then you'd get more visits from Batman too.. hubba hubba! ahem. I digress.xoMel www.needleandnestdesign.blogspot.com

You are my thrift-conscious right now....I had in my hands the cutest little mint portable turntable at Goodwill today....but it had all sorts of repairs and a $20 price tag....if it's still there on payday then it was meant to be.

I can't decide if I would never ever cook in that kitchen for fear of getting anything dirty, or if I'd be cooking all the time just to be in there!I'd probably just settle on sitting in a chair in the middle of the room staring at it.

I think minty teal is the prettiest color - perfect backdrop to suit anything really.I have a few pieces of furniture that color, and I'm painting the living room a similar shade soon! I think it's a happy color, so if you paint it that color the room will always make you happy!
